After weeks of chemical treatment and filtering the pool was finally swimmable weekend before last....



Last Saturday I spent a real "day by the pool"...
Dragged a sofa out into the shade of the unfinished verandah...
Sunbathed and swam.....
Had pots of tea and freshly baked empadas....tiny savoury pies.... bought
over the garden wall from the guy on the bike who comes past every day shouting
"....Ayyyyempadahhhh...."
Took me weeks to find out what it was he was selling, and even longer to
reach the wall in time....


The steps need cutting down, to make them longer,
well deeper in the....oh you know.....


Marble border and groovy non slip tiles on the guest house
terrace....
Just waiting to add bamboo railings and roof covered in shady
rustic stuff....
It's really nice and breezy up there, and it's the only place my
rotten mobile network works.....


View of the works....note the little drainage pipes along the parapet....ohhhh cute!!!!
